Both as an intermediary to Western culture and as a cultural force
in itself, Japan had a significant impact on the development of
modern Chinese literature. However, for the most part, the links of
this Sino-Japanese literary relationship has only just begun to
receive scholarly attention, making this book's exploration of
Japan's role in shaping Chinese cultural modernity an important
addition to the literature. By comparing and contrasting what
appear to be similar narrative modes between the shishosetsu and
work coming out of the Creation Society, Keaveney explores how
Chinese writers both appropriated and reconceptualized this
Japanese approach. By letting their work retain both
self-referentiality and articulations of social concerns, the
Chinese authors were able to make the form far more political than
it ever was in the hands of Japanese writers.
An examination of whether Chinese writers of the Creation Society,
a Chinese literary coterie, successfully appropriated shishosetsu,
a quintessentially Japanese form of autobiographical narrative,
into a form to be exploited for their own ends, especially
political ends.
